Reince Preibus is calling for an autopsy of the GOP in order to diagnos what went wrong with the patient. From my understanding, autopsies are only performed on the deceased, and the GOP seems very much alive to me. What is really required is a lobotomy.

what turns me off about the Republican Party isnt just the politicians but more so, their often rabid, bitter followers....the constituents who vote reep are really what's tainted the GOP's image with minorities, specifically black people...not sure that watts would be enough to change that.....

BootsAgain and Paul Ryan Rocks are perfect examples of how the GOP wants nothing to do with African Americans. The GOP should be doing everything in it's power to distance itself from these knuckle draggers.

bingcherry - Today at 9:34 AM:"BootsAgain and Paul Ryan Rocks are perfect examples of how the GOP wants nothing to do with African Americans."***************Is this the same GOP that LIncoln was affiliated with? Remember Lincoln, the president that did the most for African-Americans than any president in history? Could this be the same GOP that G.W. Bush as a member of? The same Bush that was credited with saving the lives of more Africans through his PEPFAR/Emergency plan to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic than any president in history? Yeah, those evil republicans. Ya think Martin Luther King was evil too because he was a republican?

bingcherry:The GOP candidate of 2012 never said that 47% of the population consider themselves victims. The GOP candidate to whom you are attributing this remark was speaking to a group of campaign contributors of which he was attempting to convince that he would spend their contributions wisely. To wit, he was not going to campaign and reach out to a group of voters that would never vote for him no matter what he did [why is this so difficult to comprehend?] As to your statement that Africans are not African-Americans...SO WHAT!? Are their lives any less important!? You sir/mam are typical of the hypocritical left.

".... All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it --..."

Read it twice and ask yourself why Romney said it was a mistake to say it.

When are black voters going to realize that Democrats want to keep them down to exploit them for political reasons? It's been that way for decades.Soon your will hear from Frederick Douglass Republicans.

Since when did EK give any credence to what a black Republican might say? Normally any black that doesn't toe the party line is mocked, ridiculed and called racist names. Did EK give any credibility to any of Herman Cain's beliefs? What about Michael Steele and Allen West; did they ever say anything that EK agreed with? EK will only use another black person if he can twist their opinions to suit his own agenda.

he looks more brown to me... SO geno, does that change your story then? WHo cares just what color someone is if they comment? I guess the racial intent is necessary for your title, so people actually read your garbage?
